In late 2012 I travelled to South Sudan to document the work of education and health programmes run by international NGOs and local organisations in Central Equatoria State.
Almost half a century of civil war had wreaked visible havoc on the people, geography and civil infrastructure of South Sudan. Despite this, I witnessed tangible and significant signs of optimism and dreams of recovery in the gradual transition from conflict to peace.
Now, in 2014, as this fragile peace is once again seriously threatened, it seems more important than ever to focus attention on what was accomplished during this short period of hopeful reconstruction.
